Building Hints for Settlers. 



649 



sheet of 24-gauge plain iron 

 36 inches wide. Allow about 

 J -inch at the corners marked 



A to turn round. Make a cut 



with the snips on the bevel as 



shown at B. The rim (C) is 



I inch wide, and, when turned 



outwards, the cut (B) will 



provide corner pieces and 



strengthen the whole sink when 



it is soldered up. 



Before this is done, turn up 



the four sides along the dotted 



lines marked D. First place 



a piece of sharp-edged hard 



wood along the line and pull 



up the iron. Keep the wood 



in a firm position and beat the 



sink into shape with a dresser. 



When that is done, turn up 



the other side. With a shorter 



piece of wood now turn up 



the ends. See that all is 



square and true, and solder 



after the manner already de- 

 scribed in the previous article. 



Then make a stand out of 



3x2 timber, and a frame to 



go around the rim, the back 



of which can be nailed to the wall, while the front rests on two legs as 



shown If the timber is dressed the space under the sink need not be 



closed in, which is better. The run 

 of the sink is covered with i-inch 

 capping. A piece of plain iron 

 placed against the wall at A and 

 turned down into the sink as shown 

 will prevent any splashing finding 

 its way between the sink and the 

 wall. 



The waste-pipe is made of 2 -inch 

 galvanized iron down-pipe; and \i 

 the room containing the sink is dis- 

 connected from living rooms, it need 

 not have a trap. But if not, a trap 

 with a water seal as illustrated in 

 Nos. 16 and 17 will be required to 

 prevent any smell entering the room. 

 The waste-pipe should enter at one 

 end of the sink, and, if a little fall 

 be given, the water will drain to it. 

 To do this, cut a hole the right size 

 and solder the waste-pipe to it. _ A 

 plug and wa.sher with a grating 

 should also be fixed, when the iron
